One thing that keeps me up these days: how is the next party in power supposed to govern? The GOP has signaled it will not always be bound by laws or international agreements it disagrees with. It’s not absolute — they blew up part of reconciliation, but not all; ignore some court orders, etc. (1/7)

Everyone talks about the bizarrely psychosexual "Daddy Trump" thing but I think that a big part of this is that as Trump physically declines and his actual awareness and control over the administration becomes more doubtful, the need grows to make an image of him as being a Jupiterean figure
WATCH: “She better be careful - she could get a personalized bunker buster from Daddy Trump.”
Fox contributor Ray Arroyo suggests Trump might bomb Netherlands Queen Maxima for making fun of his mouth

Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.
Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?
Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."
Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.
